US Sen. Cornyn Votes Against Additional Spending Cuts
« on: February 23, 2025, 09:01:45 am »
Texas Scorecard By Adam Cahn February 21, 2025

Texas’ other U.S. Senator, Ted Cruz, voted for the additional cuts.

As federal spending undergoes renewed scrutiny amid President Donald Trump’s tenure, one measure to curtail spending has split Texas’ all-Republican U.S. Senate delegation.

At issue is a budget resolution that will guide the U.S. Senate’s fiscal priorities during President Donald Trump’s term. Budget resolutions are significant because they enable a process called “reconciliation,” which is not subject to a legislative filibuster. This means they can pass the U.S. Senate with 51, instead of 60, votes.

As part of the Senate debate over the budget resolution, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) offered an amendment that would cut $1.4 trillion (out of a baseline of $89 trillion) over ten years. Only 24 Senators supported Paul’s amendment. Seventy-six senators, including 31 Republicans, opposed the amendment.

Cornyn is up for re-election in 2026. Attorney General Ken Paxton is reportedly considering a run for the seat.

I will predict now....

Cornyn is toxic.  He will not be Senator January 6, 2027.  We Texans are beyond pissed.  Not only for this, but his behind the scenes stategery hindering other DOGE efforts, and appointments.

We have two strong candidates in the bull pen....   Paxton and Ronny Jackson.  Either will be light years better than this POS.
